Ashly KLR-4000 850 W High-Efficiency 2-Channel Power Amplifier

The Ashly KLR-4000 850 W High-Efficiency 2-Channel Power Amplifier is a high-performance, two-channel power amplifier designed to deliver exceptional audio quality and reliability. Built to handle demanding audio applications, this amplifier is a powerful tool for live sound reinforcement, clubs, houses of worship, corporate events, and installation projects. Its core strength lies in its ability to produce substantial power: a minimum of 2,000 Watts per channel into 2 Ohm loads, 1,400 Watts RMS per channel into 4 Ohm loads, or 850 Watts RMS per channel into 8 Ohm loads when both channels are operating. This raw power is complemented by a clean and accurate sound signature, thanks to a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 109dB and a THD of less than 0.05% into 4 Ohms across a 20Hz-20kHz bandwidth at 10dB below rated power.  

Versatility is a hallmark of the KLR-4000. Rear panel switches allow for both parallel mono and bridging modes, offering flexibility to match various system configurations. When bridged, the amplifier can deliver a potent 4,000 Watts into a 4 Ohm load. To further refine the audio output, the amplifier includes a channel attenuator for each input, input sensitivity select switches, a high-pass filter switch, and a limiter enable switch. These features empower users to tailor the sound to their specific needs.

Robust protection is essential for any high-power amplifier, and the KLR-4000 delivers. Equipped with safeguards against output overcurrent, DC output, chassis temperature, and power surges, it ensures reliable performance and protects connected equipment. The amplifier's cooling system employs efficient forced-air cooling with removable dust filters, maintaining optimal operating temperatures and extending component life. Additionally, the KLR-4000 is built to withstand the rigors of professional use, featuring a sturdy 2RU rack-mountable chassis.

Connectivity options are comprehensive, catering to a wide range of audio sources and systems. Balanced inputs are provided via XLR, ¼ inch TRS, and 3-pin Euroblock connectors, while outputs are handled by four-pin SpeakON connectors. Clear LED indicators offer visual feedback on power level, clipping, and protection status, aiding in system monitoring. The amplifier's frequency response extends from 20Hz to 20kHz (1W @ 8 Ohms), ensuring accurate reproduction of the full audio spectrum.

With its combination of power, features, and build quality, the Ashly KLR-4000 is a compelling choice for audio professionals seeking a reliable and high-performance amplifier.
